If you are new to the FF fun, Feature and Follow Friday
is a blog
hop that expands your blog following by a
joint effort between
bloggers. Feature & Follow Friday
is now hosted by TWO hosts,
myself of course and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, then
you create a
post on your own blog that links back
to this post (easiest way
is to just grab the code under the
#FF picture and put it in
your post) and then you visit as
many blogs as you can and tell
them "hi" in their comments (on
the post that has the #FF
image). You follow them, they
follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

Now to make this FF interesting we do a FEATURE blogger. If you are interested in becoming a Feature click on the drop down link above FEATURES and Features and Follow Friday and get on the waiting list! It is also required, that if you participate you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee and Alison Can Read) and the two Feature blogs.

3. Put your Blog name and URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to insert it into your posts.

4. Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for
people to find a place to say “hi” in your comments and that they are
now following you.

5. If you are using WordPress or another CMS that doesn’t have GFC
(Google Friends Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be
followed

6. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or
just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new
blogs. Also, don’t just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger
might not know you are a new follower if you don’t say “HI”

7. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love … and the followers

8. If you’re new to the follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!

Our Feature is NerdHerd

When did you start blogging?

We started blogging only a few short weeks ago.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?

Our favorite part of book blogging is getting to share our love for books with fellow nerd-girls.

What type of books do you mainly blog about?

We mainly write about YA books. Fiction, fantasy, whatever. We just like to read

What is your favorite book(s)?

My favorite book is The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brain Selznick, or the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare.

Dallas: My favorite series is the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld.

What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

Our favorite thing that has happened to us because of book blogging would probably have to be meeting other bloggers and people who share our passion and love for reading.

I started blogging on January 3rd 2013. I thought I was totally prepared... Hehe. 2. What is your favorite part of book blogging?

My favorite part of book blogging? Well, I love receiving comments on my posts and learning about epic new reads through my blogger friends. (Also, it gives me something to do other than go over my last ballet exercise or hunt on Amazon and Goodreads for hours on end. Which, actually, I still do.)

3. What type of books do you mainly blog about?

I mainly blog about YA. I am a teen, so adult doesn't appeal to me much yet. Plus, the YA genre is so unique and vast... And can be fun, heartbreaking, pure awesomeness, clever etc.

4. What is your favorite book(s)?

Favorite Books? Well, I love all books by Jennifer L Armentrout, Robin Benway, Cassandra Clare, and Richelle Mead. And recently I just finished Crewel, The Selection, and The Elite which were all totally keepers!

5. What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

I can't choose! Book blogging has been such loads of fun! I want to keep CIB up for a long time so all these good things keep happening! Okay, best thing that has happened? Maybe when I was so nervous about starting these posts I call Newbie Blogger Diaries, and then started to get awesomely positive response from my readers. My readers are awesome! Or when I first was contacted by an author. Or when I started finding all these cool blogs after starting Counting in Bookcases.

Q: Happy Mother's Day! Who is your favorite mom from fiction?

One of my favorite fiction mom's is Blay's from "The Black Dagger Brotherhood series because she accepts Blay orientation and loves him unconditionally. She just wants him to be happy no matter if his mate is a male or female.
